MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

OPENING THE HOOD

• Pull the red release lever located
below the instrument panel and in
front of the driver's door.
• Raise the hood and locate the
safety latch in the middle of the hood
opening.
• Move the safety latch while lifting the
hood at the same time.
• Insert the support rod into the slot on
the hood.
• To close the hood, remove the sup-
port rod and place it in the retaining
clip, then lower the hood slowly.
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure
to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
